Transmitter Building Europe 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Transmitter building Europe 1 is a very remarkable concrete construction without support pillars, which is nowadays under monumental protection. It was built in 1954 for housing the transmitter device of Europe 1. It has a length of 60 metres, a width of 16 metres, a surface of 2700 square metres (from which are 1770 square metres of glass) and a volume of 31000 cube metres. The heating of the building is made by the waste heat of the transmitters.
In front of the building, there is a telecommunication tower of reinforced concrete, which should be used for transmitting the programme of Telesaar.
